This is a shioze
Nagoya obi with a design of a girl playing with a temari(ball of cotton), which is dyed.
The pattern on the pale base color is strikingly cute!
The textile is shioze silk, and it has soft and comfortable smooth touch, which is a feature of shioze silk.
There is a stamp of the designer's signature on the 'tare-saki'(tare end).
There is slight discoloration, which is not bothering.
For details, please check the figure and photos.
Though not shown in the figures and photos, there is a slight small stain near the 'maegara'(the front design) of Kansai wrap(rotate obi clockwise) side.
It is also frayed in the lower part of the 'otaiko'(the square bow) and it turned a little glossy, but it won't be seen when it's on.
Though it has some faults, but they are not disturbing to wear.
We hope you enjoy this cute design!
